The group are pumped to adventure to find a new capture creature, they even found some neat tracks.

One of them head towards the castle.

The other head towards a strange cave just outside of the town.

The [Keen Eyed] bombat on the team notices extra tracks going towards the cave!

"The Bombat here seems to suggest there is more to be found in the cave, however it is likely that searching the castle will lead to a run-in with Princess. What are all of your thoughts?"
"I'll do mostly anything to try and get a new pet :)"
"I'm fine with either option, haha! Although I am somewhat interested in what's inside that cave, though…"
"Hmm, might be a bit dangerous to mess around Princess' castle."
"I say we head to the cave, but stay on high alert. Especially since Keith here is a bit skittish." Glaucus says, petting the bombat.
"The cave would be better, since Colpreblast can and will cause collateral. Kree kree kree!"
"The cave it is, then!"
"The arise that was brought along is bioluminescent too, right? It can light up the way, haha!
'sure is :)"

"hhhhuuuuuuu."

A FEARL TENTIDER HAS APPEARED.

Mold from it drips down, but seems uninterested in your crew. There's a path deeper into the cave up ahead....

"Aw gee look at that guy!"
"This cavern is not uninhabited, which is a good sign. However, I doubt this tentider was the source of the tracks."
"It's all… moldy. Should we try to catch it or just skip this fella? Don't want to catch a disease, haha…"
"That tentider doesn't seem alive, they would never shamble like that."
"Oh fuck that guy is dead."
"If we cause too much of a ruckus, we might wake up something deeper in the cave."
"Let's just leave it here for now. We can pick it up on our way out if it's still here, now let's keep going."

You all notice that to get deeper into the cave you have to walk under the tentider.....

"Hm… it might be easier just to catch it. It'll get it out of the way, haha!"
"Plus, free spider…. corpse."
"All I'm gonna say is the obvious solution is fire."

You begin hitting the tent with a stick you found, the tentider gurgles but doesn't let go! It is distracted.

Keith gets scared and runs away!

Doormat starts to run around in a circle before stopping and looking at his capsule. "SHOULD I POP THIS GUY OPEN?"

Keith hates caves! He hates dark places! He's scared of giant moldy dead spiders!

"Yep, just what I expected… little bit of a scaredy-rat, he is."
"Colpreblast, give the spider a nice flaming hug."
"PLEASE DON'T. MAYA IS ALSO THERE AS AM I."

Little did the Scarlet Flame know, tentiders did not feel pain.

"Should we go deeper? The tentider might be weak enough to catch now. Or we can at least find something else."
"Yes. Let's."
"Are we sure the undead tent is really worth it?"
"I get the feeling it's not the only animal in this cave."
"Might not be at this point, but a pet is a pet, if it's weak enough to just grab now we might as well, haha…"
"But if we find something bigger and better, we should focus on that."
"Anyways, shall we continue?"

The group heads deeper into the cave. With every step the mold grows thicker. Soon it no longer feels like you're in a cave, but in the belly of a molded over husk.

The burnt tentider is standing in a small puddle of water, having returned to its docile state. (And more worryingly, it is not as injured as it should be. The mold appears to have repaired it quite quickly.)

Rising from the water, a huge beast emerges.

It's a wug.

It's larger, much larger than any one you have seen before.

"hey look! that guy's bigger and better!"
"Well shit."
"Certainly bigger."
"How do you think we should go about catching this thing?"
"What even is this fungus? This is looking pretty dangerous."
"God this wug is large :)"
"Subduing it physically should be our last resort."
"Maybe we should just… grab the tentider. Seems much more reasonable to catch."
"You know my best option here. But it could get dangerous quickly. Kree kree kree! So I'm open for suggestions."
"Might want to stay out of the mold."

"OK." Vib begins to tear up the paper.
"Okay. Tired of this." Glaucus just tries to grab one of the tailmics.
Zookeeper slaps Glaucus' hand away! You can't steal pets!
"Ok folks I'm getting bored. See you!"
"Look, I don't want to leave you in the centipede pile. I can… make you something I guess? As I said, I can make you a sculpture."

Zookeeper scuttles away with the tailmics.
You took too long to tame them.

"…Oh come on."
"Anyways we still got the wug, lets just go."
"Well we tried. Any updates on the tentider?"
The tentider has left.
"We didn't even get any extra pets."
"Case closed." A bit of mold comes off the ceiling like confetti.
